Daily maintenance and upkeep of hospital wooden panel furniture

2022-09-15

Hospitals, as public places, have a high flow of people, resulting in a high usage rate of furniture. If not regularly repaired and maintained, it can easily be damaged. In the hospital furniture series, there are a large number of medical furniture made of wood, baked paint and other materials, such as chairs, desks, doctors' changing cabinets, ward wardrobes, operation cabinets, traditional Chinese medicine cabinets, etc.


The hospital furniture products made of green and environmentally friendly natural wood have the greatest advantage of natural wood grain and various natural color variations. Due to natural wood being a constantly breathing organism, it must be placed in an environment with appropriate temperature and humidity; At the same time, it is necessary to avoid placing beverages, chemicals, or overheated objects on the surface to avoid damaging the natural color of the wooden surface. So, how can we better reduce these damages and maintain wooden hospital furniture during use and operation?

Loosening;

Daily maintenance of wooden panel furniture:


If there is dust on the surface of the wooden disposal cabinet furniture in the hospital, use a semi dry and wet soft cloth to wipe it off; Regularly remove dust and debris from moving components and structural gaps: If necessary, tea leaves and camphor can be placed in hospital furniture to prevent insect infestations and cockroaches. Adding some Sichuan peppercorns can also prevent mice from entering;


The glossiness of hospital furniture that has been used for a long time gradually decreases with long-term friction. For this type, it is necessary to regularly apply maintenance agent evenly to a clean soft cloth, then gently wipe the surface to be polished, and then wipe it again with a clean soft cloth. Regularly inspect, tighten loose screws, and adjust clearances between various components.


For infrequently used hospital furniture, cover it with blackout cloth to avoid moisture, and disconnect the power supply for those with circuits. In short, the correct use of medical furniture and timely maintenance can prolong its service life and have extremely important significance for improving operational efficiency.


If there are stains on the surface of wooden furniture, do not vigorously wipe it. Warm tea water can be used to gently remove stains. Be careful not to use alcohol, gasoline, or other corrosive chemical solvents to avoid damaging the paint film.


When cleaning, do not let cleaning tools touch wooden furniture. Also, be careful not to let hard metal products or other sharp objects collide with wooden furniture to protect its surface from any signs of hard damage.


In summer, if the indoor environment is damp, it is advisable to use thin rubber pads to separate the parts of wooden furniture that come into contact with the ground, while keeping a gap of 0.5 to 1 centimeter between the wall facing parts of wooden furniture and the wall.


In winter, it is best to place wooden furniture about 1 meter away from the heating source to avoid prolonged high temperature baking, which can cause local cracking, warping and deformation of the wood, as well as local quality changes in the paint film.

Maintenance methods for wooden panel furniture:


1. Stay away from the harm of heat sources


Generally, wooden furniture has poor heat resistance, and being too close to a heat source can cause the wood to lose water, leading to dryness, cracking, and deformation of the wooden furniture. Therefore, when placing wooden furniture at home, it is important to avoid direct sunlight and try to stay away from radiators, lighting fixtures, and other sources of heat.


2. Maintain constant indoor humidity


Wooden furniture has a relatively high moisture content, so high indoor humidity can cause wooden furniture to expand. Especially during winter when there is a significant temperature difference between indoor and outdoor environments, it is even more important to pay attention to regulating indoor humidity. Do not frequently turn on and off the air conditioning in winter, as this can cause significant temperature and humidity changes. Additionally, avoid placing wooden furniture in ventilation openings to make the indoor environment drier.


3. Regular cleaning and maintenance


Another crucial aspect of maintaining wooden furniture is regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as waxing at regular intervals. Maintain the cleanliness, tidiness, and shiny appearance of the furniture.


4. Regularly waxing


In addition to frequent dust removal, the surface of wooden furniture sometimes needs to be further maintained by waxing to enhance its aesthetic appearance,


5. Scratch repair


If the paint surface of the wooden furniture is scratched and does not touch the wood under the paint, it can be painted on the wound surface of the furniture with crayons or pigments of the same color as the furniture to cover the exposed background color, and then coated with a thin layer of transparent nail polish. Note that too much nail polish will erode the wooden furniture.


6. Hot scar repair


Use a dry, ultra-fine steel wool pad specifically designed for furniture painting to directly wipe along the direction of the wood grain at the burn mark. Alternatively, apply salad oil or mayonnaise to the source mark, take a soft cloth and gently wipe along the wood grain, then replace it with a clean soft cloth to clean it. Finally, shine. If the paint surface is burnt, you can wrap a layer of fine textured hard cloth on the matchstick or toothpick, gently wipe the marks, and then apply a thin layer of wax to fade the burnt marks.


7. Water mark repair


Water marks usually take some time to disappear. If it is still visible after a month, a clean soft cloth coated with a small amount of salad oil or mayonnaise can be used to wipe the water mark in the direction of the wood grain, or a wet cloth can be used to cover the mark, and then carefully press the wet cloth several times with an electric iron to fade the mark.
